A novel stepped-impedance resonator (SIR) and its Fig.l(c) shows the simplified equivalent circuit of the simplified equivalent circuit are proposed in this paper. The SIR. Zin and Yin denote the input impedance and the frequency responses of the SIR with different sizes are input admittance looking into the microstrip line of W3. analyzed by the full-wave electromagnetic (EM) simulator. A According to the odd-mode and even-mode theory[9], novel low-pass filter (LPF) with two transmission zeros is the odd-mode and even-mode resonant frequencies can designed and fabricated based on the SIR. The measured 3 dB be odd-moded byn-he resong frmula(I)an cutoff frequency fc is 7.2 GHz with 0.3 dB ripple level in the be calculated by the following formula(l)and pass-band. The rejection bandwidth of the insertion loss more formula(2),where n=1,2,3,..., c is the speed of light in than 15 dB is 9 GHz. The experimental results show good free space. agreement with simulated ones, which validates the (2n -
